Catchin' up...

We're half way into our trip and it seems all we've done is "catch up"...i guess a bit of a "break" from reality. Caught up with family...farm visits-fashion shows-rice feeding festivals-weddings-birthdays.


Brian's been consulting with a family friend in the restaurant industry. He's had a few interesting "adventures"...farmers' markets-restaurant warehouses-wholesale markets-tourisim boardmeetings. He's also been busy trying out recipes...made some killler apps with imported "chipolte" peppers, parma ham, turkey and local tomatoes. Here's some other fun things he's tried out...





We've also visited a few places to dine...Jhamel: Chai Chai Cafe-great illy coffee; Roadhouse Cafe-great wood fired pizza; Black Pepper-creative decor; Tamrind-lively bar scene. Thamel: Cafe Kaldi-chill atmosphere and pretty good coffee, free wi-fi; Dechiling-delicious Butanese/Tibetian food; Thamas-much to be desired. Dwarika: Mosoko-great japanese restaurant, pricey but beautiful decor. Darbar Marg: Pizza Hut-unique ingredients, ok pizza; KFC-ummm where's thr TUMS!?!; Nanglo's-stick to the chinese menu; 1905-great open layout with a beautiful garden, mellow atmosphere, tasty apps!

Been vegging out a bit too...caught up on all our favourite shows on dvd (when they worked)...weeds-entourage-true blood-boardwalk empire. Zoned out on old movies on local cable tv, not so memorable features but what to do!?!
